    • Ok, still haven't rego'd the car, needs some serious tuning, running mega rich. Need to raise it, will need coilovers, anyone have any. Also needs a standard intake boost hose, anyone know where to go other then eBay.

      Am also looking for standard Gti badges and some g60 badges too.

      Hopefully will get sorted before holidays, want to do some serious touring.

        • Im sure loon would have some stock springs kicking around for the roadworthy!

          This thing looked good when I saw it whilst at Nats.

          • Update:

            So loon has done a fab job rewiring to make it run better. Next is the charger is a bit noisy, hopefully wont need a new one too shortly. suspension should be good. Just need to sort the exhaust as it was 93db. Hopefully it will be on the road soon, then i can start going thru the other issues like the passenger seat always tilting, surface rust in varies places, and the working thru to get the piping for the intercooler and stuff.

            Anyone know where to get g60's new and used over here. Found one on germany for 1600euro

            Here is what the rego will look like:

              • Looks great under the aussie sun!!

                Have you tried shooting a PM to OEMG60, he ran his Corrado G60 over here for a long while, might be able to help.

                        • Just read this whole thread, nice work DangerDan, good to see your hard work & persistence paid off. And how many mint 2dr oak green Mk2's with recaros and a g60 do we have over here now? I'm guessing probably one.

                            Thanks, much appreciated. Just have a few issues with the paint to sort out, will be ringing touch up guys to see what they say. nothing major though. None of it would have been possible without he help of the people on this forum, from day one to final delivery. Im just stoked that so many people are so interested, i love these cars and just wasn't happy compromising with what i got at the time.

                            Has there been a count up of mk2 2 doors before, i sure there are more then what i think there are.

                            • does anybody have any suggestions on where to get scratched paintwork done. I've been looking into the touch up guys and will ring when i get the car back, but not sure if they are any good. Reviews seem to go both ways.

                              The scratches are major, one on the sun roof, another on the front left quarter near the lights, a few spots above the side skirt.

                              Is oak green a hard colour to match too? anything is cheaper then orange i guess

                              • Dan,

                                If you go to Autobarn they can mix that exact paint for you as they have the code on their computer.
